Right in the heart of Asakusa, its simple and friendly...”

Hello everyone! I had the pleasure of staying at the Asakusa Central Hotel recently and was treated to a pleasant experience. Let's cover off the Pro's and the Possible Improvements: Pro's: * Very close to three metro lines - the Toei Asakusa Line, the Ginza line and the Tsukuba Express line. * Great location - close to Sensoji temple complex, Asakusa shopping district, plenty of dining options around. * Friendly staff and clean - can't be said enough! I really felt welcomed and valued. Possible Improvements: * Rooms are getting on in age and could use a renovation. * Rooms are small (typical for Tokyo though) - make sure you grab a Non-Smoking room with a closet. The Smoking rooms smell like..well a LOT of smoked cigarettes! * No wheelchair access. * The pillows are like marshmallows. I could never get comfy! Still, if you can grab a room at a killer price, Asakusa Central Hotel can be unbeatable value. With a Family Mart on the ground floor, everything you need is there!

I had great stay for good money in my favorite place in Tokyo”

My most favorite place in Tokyo is Asakusa and Senso-ji in particular, and staying in Asakusa Central Hotel you not only get to live in this lovely district but also have to pass Sesnso-ji lantern gate every time you go out and return. Asakusa and Ginza metro lines are very convenient to get around and are very close to hotel. Staff is very friendly and helpful, room is rather spacious for Japanese standards and clean (tho carpet is spotty at places and furniture is not that modern, but it rarely bothers me). There was free smartphone service I never once happened to encounter! Didn’t try it out cause I already had internet sim in my own phone, but I think it’s great service. I guess the only down of the hotel was the pajamas that were a bit frayed at the sleeves and such. Didn’t really bother me either. Would happily stay here again and already did recommend it to my friends and family as a great value/price stay.

Great hotel”

Pros - Direct train to/from Narita Airport - Near other stations on different line - Staffs speak sufficient English and really helpful and hospitable. I once asked the staff to make a reservation at a sushi restaurant and they just did it for you (thanks Sato-san). They also allow us to arrange time to make up the room and took the effort to call us even we have put up the do not disturb sign and left us new towels by the door - There are good facilities... Hot bath, sauna, massages machines (I love the foot massager after a long walk) and ice machines, free of charge. There are also laundry rooms and - It's really clean. - The room is bigger than most rooms in Tokyo and there is a cupboard to hang your clothes - Near to Yen shops and other attractions such as Nakamise Street and Tokyo Sky Tree - Plenty of shops in the area such as family mart and ozeki supermarket as well as drug store Cons - Hotel a bit old/outdated and can be seen by the use of key door and the toilet bowl but I'm not fussy since it's really clean and comfy If I decided to stay in Asakusa in the future, I would definitely come back to this hotel again Tips - There's direct train from/to Narita Airport (Narita Sky Access train) to/from Asakusa Station Toei Line which is just around 5-7 minutes walk to the hotel - if you can't catch the direct train, fret not as it will require only 1 transfer on the same platform at the right station so you won't have to worry if you bring big heavy luggages. Just ask the staffs at the station and they will tell you the train you should take, whether to transfer and the time of arrival of the train - The Toei Asakusa Line has elevator exit. just follow A2b exit signage. Its really easy - The hotel is also nearby the other 3 stations which are ginza line (elevator also available), tobu sky tree line and tsukuba express line. Tawaramachi Station of Ginza Line is also around 5-10 minutes walk - Keep in mind though that Toei Asak

Charming hotel, good location”

Staying at Asakusa Central Hotel is like stepping into a time warp, but that's what makes it so charming. There are no keycards (just an actual key), and my room even had an FM radio! Quirks aside, I really enjoyed my stay here. The single room is spacious by Tokyo standards – there was more than enough space to move around and be comfortable. The room is also equipped with modern conveniences: USB slots, an LCD TV and even a smartphone with free internet and free calls to selected countries. I'm not sure if this is a permanent feature, but it was a nice surprise that became very useful. A few minor gripes: the refrigerator was really old and wasn't the cleanest, the hotel wifi was incredibly slow during my stay, the in-room AC was a bit loud, and while the hotel staff are nice, most of them speak very little English. Bonus: it's very near Asakusa station, there's a Family Mart attached and there are plenty of good restaurants nearby.

maybe some useful tips”

Tips - There's direct train from/to Narita Airport (Narita Sky Access train) to/from Asakusa Station Toei Line which is just around 5-7 minutes walk to the hotel - if you can't catch the direct train, fret not as it will require only 1 transfer on the same platform at the right station so you won't have to worry if you bring big heavy luggages.

Its really easy - The hotel is also nearby the other 3 stations which are ginza line (elevator also available), tobu sky tree line and tsukuba express line. Tawaramachi Station of Ginza Line is also around 5-10 minutes walk - Keep in mind though that Toei Asakusa Line train to the airport is pretty packed at peak hours so you might have to stand for some time - If you are in for a ride on the bus, bus stops are just in front of the hotel. - You can choose not to bring your sleeping wear as they provide pajamas (although a bit short on me) and they provide new ones every day - If you make your own breakfast like I was, I think it's better to bring your own mugs as they only provide small glass. Don't forget cutleries too Tips - There's direct train from/to Narita Airport (Narita Sky Access train) to/from Asakusa Station Toei Line which is just around 5-7 minutes walk to the hotel - if you can't catch the direct train, fret not as it will require only 1 transfer on the same platform at the right station so you won't have to worry if you bring big heavy luggages.

Nice stay at asakusa central ”

We stay here for 8 nights and 7 days. And it was very satisfied moments.. The location was superb!! Near mrt ginza and asakusa line. Near sensoji temple and donquijote also. The hotel room very spacious too for japan hotel. And they also provide night pajamas for sleeps everyday.. they also have an onsens for those who stay at the hotel. Worth to try :) I only give 4 stars for the staff because they didnt speak english well.. maybe next time they could speak english more fluently :) Overall it was a nice stay at the hotel. If we are coming back to tokyo definitely will stay at asakusa central again

I love this hotel so much”

Asakusa Central is by far my favorite hotel in the city. I guess I'm biased, because I adore Asakusa distict, and this hotel happens to sit in very heart of it, conveniently close to Senso-ji's nakamise AND getting places from there is easy and convenient. Hotel itself is not posh or modern-looking and rooms have old-ish style, so are pyjamas that they offer, but it's clean, comfortable, staff is friendly and helpfull, location is godsend and price is GREAT. They also dont list it on booking page, but both times I stayed here there was a smartphone in my room I could use whole stay for free, that I could take with me to the city, with internet connection and free domestic and international calls!

Perfect location in Asakusa”

I've seen this hotel for over 10 years while coming to Tokyo. Over the years I've stayed at mostly hostels, but also hotels and Airbnb's in the Asakusa/Ueno area. So after all these years I saw a great rate for this hotel and booked it. I was not disappointed and in fact have already booked this hotel for 5 nights in March. Pros: -Location in the heart of Asakusa less than 10 minutes walk from either Asakusa or Tawaramachi station -Rooms aren't the most modern, but clean and with all the typical Japanese amenities -Onsite onsen Cons: - None Conclusion: Great if you're looking for a clean room in a great area at a cheap rate (I paid less than US$45 a night)

Love! Superb hotel that I will be coming back to!”

It was amazing!! I definitely would want to come back here to stay! The hotel was so conveniently located, a min walk from Asakusa subway line. You can so easy go to other parts of Tokyo or visit Skytree which is just one stop away. There are so many local eateries nearby from japanese food to fast food and a nice bakery! There is also a convenient store just next to the hotel. There are also 2 supemarkets near the hotel, one of which is 24hours. The hotel itself was clean, room was big for Japan standard (nice!), the bed was comfortable. The hotel has free wi fi for guests to use in the room which is not that common in Japan. There is also a laundry room with coin machines within the hotel itself so you can wash your clothes and dry them at very low cost while you are staying there! I love this place! It will be my top choice if I plan to come back to Tokyo again!

comfortable and valueable hotel”

Asakusa Central hotel is a very good hotel. Near tokyo metro subway , the room is big and clean. There is a public bath at the hotel with many convenience equipment and comfortable thing to relax. I love here and I 'll be back to this hotel again if I come to tokyo

Perfect Room”

Although staff is weak in English but helpful enough guide you the way. Although is an aged hotel but their maintenance is great room are clean & spacious compare to those newly built hotel. For family of 4 suggested you stay this hotel and get their family room then you can save $ booking 2 rooms. Family Mart just located at the lobby, winter time you need not have to wear winter clothings out to buy supper as the mart is connected from the lobby. Enjoyed the public bath too!!!!!! Would definitely stay back this hotel if back to Tokyo. Surround with a lot eateries and shopping area. Walking distance to Metro. Don Quijote Asakusa also a 5mins walking distance, had a bad experience when shopping at Don Quijote, as usually shopping I likes to use credit card as I can refer back my shopping expenses, although they said they do accept credit cards but it does not goes through and the staff they are rude.

Near to Asakusa Station(Subway)”

Pros: - Location: near to Asakusa Station (Subway Line-Asakusa Line and Ginza Line), easy transfer to JR station via Asakusabashi Station. - Facilities: coin laundry at 3rd floor is really convenient for light packing traveller, convinience store Family Mart at the hotel entrance, family restaurant Gusto at hotel 2nd floor. - Room: big! heater and air conditioner both running excellently. - Front desk staffs are always quick action, friendly - There is a free use handphone inside our room, which are call-internet free unlimited. But we used Google Maps. It really save our phone battery. So our own phonr are for photos only, this phone is for Maps. Cons: - Small toilet.

Asakusa Central Hotel”

I love the Asakusa central hotel, I'm going to Tokyo next time and I also will choice this hotel, convenient place make tourists cannot get lose, and this hotel also nearly Asakusa temple,Tokyo tree, many stores and restaurants.

Excellent hotel”

My wife and I enjoyed out stay at the Asakusa Central Hotel. It is very conveniently located and has good facilities. We stayed in a double room which was quite large for the price of the room. Also, the hotel provided free coffee in the lobby. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Good choice for budget travelers ”

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room which is considerably larger than in other budget hotels we previously stayed in Japan. Room was well equipped and there was no noise from the street so we didn't have trouble with sleeping. Although the staff couldn't speak much English they tried their best to be helpful. Big plus for this hotel was the free public bath and sauna which were very relaxing after spending a whole day walking. Located in Asakusa which is a quiet neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants this hotel is a good choice for people looking to rest from modern Tokyo.

A good stay”

The Asakusa Central Hotel is pretty great. Yukatas provided every night with fresh towels, daily cleaning service, self-service laundry, a family restaurant that stays open till the wee hours if you're an insomniac. Location is excellent, many food outlets around, a stone's throw away from Sensouji and Kaminarimon. If you're looking for a place to hang, see the sights and chill, this hotel is great. Only problem might be if you intend to travel a lot to other parts of Tokyo, the Asakusa station isn't the best (no JR lines, you'll need to transfer from metro), but for a relaxing holiday with a completely different feel from modern Tokyo, this is a great place to stay.

Great value, good location”

Great place to base yourself in Tokyo, with Asakusa a gentle introduction to the city. The hotel is right on Asakusa's main street with east access to a host of interesting restaurants, train stations, info centre and temples. A bonus is that the Skyliner from the Airport makes a stop at Asakusa making it even easier to base yourself here. Rooms are the standard business hotel style - clean, functional.

My first choice”

When I'm going to Tokyo I am always checking this hotel first. I LOVE Asakusa and this hotel located most conveniently, rooms are good, service is friendly and helpful, while price is nearly always a winner among other choices. It's not very new or hip, but I simply can not come up with anything bad to say about it, all the times I stayed here were without single problem.

Exceptional”

The location is superb, the best. It is near the Asakusa Station, near Sensoji Temple, walking distance to Tokyo Skytree and surrounded by eateries and shops. The hotel is relatively new, The rooms and baths are clean. The sheets and towels are clean and smell good., All necessary toiletries are provided. The staffs are wonderful very helpful and friendly and always wear a smile. They provide a yukata and they even have a huge onsen. You can have free beverages at the lobby. Will definitely stay here again.

Super great value for money”

I thank God that I stayed in this hotel last January and February 2018 when visited Tokyo. This place is near the train station and the famous Asakusa Temple. Their breakfast is good and has a lot of choices also. There is also a convenience store at the ground floor of the hotel. Overall, a great value for money and will definitely stay here again the next time I'll visit Tokyo.
